What a wonderful party!! I love the Paris feel to it all!! My favorite celebration is Christmas - because I love to give gifts to others and make them smile. I am a new follower to you blog - Great work!

Your Parisian Princess Party projects are all so very cute & classy! (love the little purse.)My favorite celebration is birthdays, 'cause you have your own special day. ☺ Have a Great New Year!reneeleeak at yahoo dot com

Oh my, what a beautiful theme and I love the color combination. Thanks for the detail information, I am new to Cricut and it is helpful to know what cartridges you used. You never know when it may influence a buying decision! I do not have a favorite celebration per say, but I love everything Fall and harvest in general. csparky61 at yahoo dot com

Great projects! My girls birthday parties were my favourite celebration. I loved coming up with unique ideas for their parties, even though I had to come up with two different ideas in the same month. Now that they are teens my fav is Christmas. We have so many gatherings to attend and every one is different. I still come up with ideas for the young kids at them.

OMGosh! This is one amazing and inspiring party set. Love the Paris theme and the colors and embellishments are awesome. I would say my favorite celebration is my kids birthdays and Christmas. Thanks for a chance at this sweet giveaway. Happy New Year!

OMG!!! What an elegant project...So much work went into this...It is stunning!!! Happy Blog-aversary to you later this month. Thanks for an awesome give away!Happy New Years,Valerie Martinjeffnval@hotmail.com

OMGoodness! How adorable is that little purse! You did a fantastic job on everything!

Happy almost Blogaversary! My favorite celebration is usually our oldest son's bday because he is lucky enough to have a summer bday and has spent more than half of them celebrating at Disney World! Nothing better than a bday at Disney! :)

Great theme and color combo!! Your projects are awesome. I like the little decorations on the bubbles, such a tiny item to alter and you nailed it. Great job. My favorite celebration is for Valentine's Day, sharing love is a beautiful thing. Thank you for sharing your projects with all of us.

Wow, I absolutely love your project! All the pieces are beautiful :)My favorite celebration would be either my birthday or New Year's... Can't pick which one of those two I like better :)My email is kkozhukh at ucsd dot eduHappy New Year! :)

I love these birthday sets. You girls are amazing. I'm a little partial to anything Parisian, since I lived in France for a year and a half. Very cute. My favorite celebrations are birthdays. I love that it is a day set aside to celebrate and rejoice in that person. me(at)glorajean(dot)com
